The Militaristic Federation of The Sheika is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Commander Long with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 17.708 billion Sheika are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantis. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Sheikan economy, worth a remarkable 2,544 trillion Cubits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 143,683 Cubits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, Sheikan tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, and the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sheika's national animal is the Chimera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Sheika is ranked 149,766^th in the world and 27^th in Absolution for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -691.98 on the Hayek Index.
